Get 'em while they're young



This is my niece Ashley. She came over to make her class some Valentine's day cards. Ashley loves stamping/scrapping with us (her mom and me) and we enjoy watching her get creative!

A great time!!

I had such a great time with the group of 16 year olds the other night. What an awesome bunch!! They had so much fun and it was great to see them experiment with the supplies I had given them. Thanks for a great evening!

SCRAP DAY!! I have a date picked for scrapday. March 14th from 9am-6pm. Will post with full details in a day or two.

I finally decided to put up the flourishes from the decor elements line that I ordered forever ago. Dwight didn't want me to put them on the cupboards but I did. We comprimised and put 2 on the cupboards and one on the wall. I really like how it turned out.
This one is the biggest swirl, and my favorite. I ordered them in chocolate brown and they are beautiful. They are also really easy to put on. SU! now has released phase 3 so go check it out. Click on the brochure to the right. Something for everyone. Oh, and stencils too!! I wonder how many I can put in my house before Dwight says something??
This is the smallest swirl and I put it on my cutlery drawer that is next to the refrigerator.
The med swirl I put on my dining room wall that I painted Cimmaron last year, subtle, but nice! What do you think?

Party Party

I'm having a New Catalog Party!!
Feb. 3rd at 7:30pm and you are all invited.
We'll make a project, drool over the new products together, I'll have door prizes and specials so you'll wanna be here!!
Please RSVP (by email or phone) by Feb. 2nd if you can make it. If you need directions to my house just call or email me.
I have been asked to do a party for a 16 year old girl's birthday. I have a few cards planned and a box to hold them in. I wanted to do the cards all co-ordinating and with one stamp set but then I thought, why not do a variety. They are new to SU! so I'd like to show them a few things and suck them in. lol Hopefully they'll have a great time. Here are 3 of the cards I'm going to have them make.
The first uses Priceless (still one of my fav's) and I used basic black, real red and whisper white cardstock/ink/ribbon. I think I'll stamp a sentiment in black and maybe do some paper piercing along the ribbon. It just doesn't look done yet.
This next one uses some retired colors, blue bayou and river rock. Still love those colors and have a small stash in my cabinet. :)
I used the scallop edge punch along both edges. I cut the hearts out and used dimensionals to pop them up a bit. Priceless was stamped with whisper white.
Now this card is my favorite of the 3. Maybe because it's so girlie, I don't know but I cased it from someone on SCS. Rose red, cameo coral and kiwi kiss cardstock/ink/ribbon and the new Raspberry Tart pp. Used Baroque Motifs stamp set.
I was also going to share a layout I did the other day. The only SU! stuff I have on here is the cardstock and some buttons. But I love how it turned out.
AND, my last share, (Wow, I'm really in the sharing mood today. lol) is my son. I just love how I captured his innocence...

Updated

The SU! catalog and the decor elements catalog on the right side is now current. I needed the assistance of the wonderful Liz Goldhawk to help me with that. Thanks Liz!!


New phase III is out with the decor elements and there is now something for everyone in the book. Go check it out.
Now a share. I did this layout a few days ago. Used Rainbow Sherbert pp (very colorful but so fun). Made the circle of dots using a white gel pen following a paper circle. The word DRINKS is HS rubon's.
This card is for a swap. I used white embossing powder on the basic grey cs and colored the flowers red with a blender pen dipped in RHR reinker.
